How Much Will It Cost to Repair My Furnace?
We get this question all the time. Getting your furnace repaired can be a scary process, mostly due to the unknown cost. Of course it’s hard to know the cost of a furnace repair until we have a solid diagnosis. An incorrect diagnosis can mean wasting time and money chasing the wrong problem.

Let's start with a guaranteed diagnosis
Would you want a surgeon to operate without knowing the problem first? We have to start with a thorough diagnostic by a NATE certified technician. Our diagnostic charge is a flat $99, which includes travel and as much time as needed to identify the problem and give you an upfront, fair, written price to fix it. Keep in mind that the diagnostic rates have little to do with a company's repair rates. Many HVAC contractors offer super low diagnostic rates of $69 or $39 just to get a foot in the door. Some even give the diagnostic for free with a repair. Low diagnostics virtually guarantee exorbitant repair rates. Because we strive to make customers for life and earn referrals, our service calls are free of gimmicks, hidden fees, and high-pressure sales.
Prices for Common Gas Furnace Repairs
Many HVAC contractors have simplified their pricebook to group all similar repairs into one price. This simple pricebook covers all possible repairs in only 7 prices and can be printed on a single page. Under this system, all blower motors are the same price regardless of brand, size, or type. Blower motors, like other furnace parts, vary widely in cost, and we believe you should only pay for the size and type that is required by your specific furnace. Without part-specific pricing, you can easily pay double for a furnace repair.
This incomplete list is only intended to be a guide. Prices many vary if your system requires OEM parts. This is only a small representation of our part-specific, Honest Pricing. Our full price book has many pages just for furnace control boards with prices ranging from $235 to over $920 based on your specific furnace model number. Why pay $920 when your furnace uses the $235 board? Call Watkins for Great People and Honest Pricing!

* Cracked Heat Exchangers can be a scam to force you to replace your furnace. Check out our blog on the Cause of Cracked Heat Exchangers.
"I asked Watkins to come by and give a second opinion. He did a thorough diagnostic on the furnace and provided a good plan and reassurance. Also, if the part really did need to be replaced, it was half the price being quoted by the competitor. Professional and courteous. On time as well." - John H. in Springboro
After-Hours Furnace Service
Our expanded regular service hours are 8am to 7pm Mon-Fri. If you call after hours, rest assured that we always have service technicians available, day and night, weekends and holidays.
Our overtime charge is just an extra $40 Mon-Sat and $80 on Sundays & Holidays, and the repairs are still billed at regular rates. (Our diagnostic fee still applies)
No one likes paying more than they should, so we did our research here. Some companies offer after-hours service for no extra charge, but their regular rates are higher than our overtime rates. They actually charge overtime rates during regular hours!
We use fair overtime pricing that simply reflects the extra costs of compensating a technician for working late on a cold night or holiday.
